Steps to Create a Unicorn Horn Flower Crown

Since who should need to choose in between a flower crown and a unicorn horn? Kaia actually wished to use both for her Birthday, and this is exactly what I wound up with.

When she first told me she wished to be a unicorn for her Birthday party, I started poking around the Web, attempting to figure something out. I was actually dissatisfied with exactly what I found. I didn't want her to be encumbered by a huge, hot, large outfit for her indoor celebration. I desired something she could don on her own when she wished to play. I didn't desire a modeling clay horn held on with an "unnoticeable" flexible band. These simply do not seem practical to me for a kid. I wanted a horn that would go on easily and conveniently, one that was light-weight, was not delicate, and would remain in location well on her head while she cantered around your home extremely, rearing and jumping. Since you understand that is exactly what is going to occur when you position a unicorn horn on a 4 years of age. (Omygosh, she's practically four!) I believe I really achieved all of these standards I set myself, and I am truly pleased with how the entire thing came together, (therefore is she!).

When I made the horn, I was believing I would experiment a bit, start figuring things out. Not the prettiest images, however ideally they at least make the process easy to see.

You will require:.

Craft Felt in Different Colours.
Stuffing.
Sewing Thread and Needle.
Bonus Strong Quilting Thread.
Small Length of Elastic.
Headband.
Hot glue.
Scissors.
Plastic Gems.
Material Leaves (Or Make Felt Leaves).

I used sparkly white craft felt for her horn. Aside from the fact that it is, clearly, sparkly, the shimmer felt is quite a bit stiffer. Leave the bottom open.

Make it a good, huge knot, you do not want it to pull through the felt as soon as there is stress on it. Run the thread out near the tip of the horn from within. Stuff the horn as securely as you can, I utilized polyfill stuffing.

Begin covering the thread down the horn in a spiral, securely enough to leave a good indent. Connect your thread off inside, near the bottom of the horn. helpful site Place your horn on another piece of matching felt, trace the bottom circle, and cut it out.

Beginning with the inside, cover stitches around the edges of your felt, stitching the circle to the bottom of the horn, and tie it off. Aim to hide your knot inside, or a minimum of away from the edge.

Sew the elastic to the bottom of the horn. Take care to stitch the elastic all the method to the edges of the horn, or the base will pull up at the front and back. Make sure that the seam holding the flexible together gets sewn to the horn, this way it will end up on top of the headband, rather of as an unpleasant lump against your kid's head.

Your unicorn horn is total! Like magic, the paper horn all of a sudden transforms into a real one! Oh, wait ... * ehem * Anyway, as soon as on the headband, I included a little hot glue under the edges of the horn to assist keep it from wobbling any. I believe this would be see this page corrected by using a wider elastic band than exactly what I took place to have on hand.

Cut a variety of flowers out of the coloured felt. I've no concept how well hot browse around this site glue works on wool felt, however it works remarkably on eco felt. For the large yellow flower, I merely cut a bunch of strips of felt, folded them in half, then added them all together by their ends with a little thread.

Hot glue the flowers all over the headband, then hot glue the plastic gems to the centers. Make certain to overlap the base of the horn a bit and cover up the elastic band. You are the proud brand-new owner of a unicorn horn flower crown!

I had a really tough time keeping her still long enough to take any images ...

Her rainbow unicorn tail is now total, too, and I have a full blown unicorn galloping around your home throughout the day. Find that tutorial here. By the way, it would be actually easy to stick a couple ears in there amidst the flowers. Inning accordance with Kaia, nevertheless, she currently has two ears and didn't want anymore. (Do not look at me ... she wears a lot of other animal ears, my logic does seldom have much impact on her, however.).

Since you know that is what is going to take place when you put a unicorn horn on a 4 year old. When I made the horn, I was thinking I would experiment a bit, begin figuring things out. Make sure that the seam holding the elastic together gets stitched to the horn, this way it will end up on top of the headband, instead of as an uneasy lump against your kid's head.

Make sure to overlap the base of the horn a bit and cover up the elastic band. You are the proud brand-new owner of a unicorn horn flower crown!
